Alabama is one of if not the greatest country groups ever. In my opinion. The group is all cousins except for the drummer who is a close childhood friend of all of theirs.
Alabama is an American country music band formed in Fort Payne, Alabama, in 1969. The band was founded by Randy Owen (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and his cousin Teddy Gentry (bass, backing vocals). They were soon joined by another cousin, Jeff Cook (lead guitar, fiddle, and keyboards). First operating under the name Wildcountry, the group toured the Southeast bar circuit in the early 1970s, and began writing original songs. They changed their name to Alabama in 1977 and following the chart success of two singles, were approached by RCA Records for a recording deal.
I'd give this 1000 likes if I could.you don't need to Induct them,they are the owners of the club,girl.they were everything in the 80s and 90s.the best country group ever!they been had a string of 22 no. 1 hits and have over 40 total.their harmonies are perfect and their musicianship is savory and unique.I never never never never never tire of alabama.they are the GOATS!
Alabama is a legendary group with a huge fan base and decades of hits. Also, not to be missed, their Christmas song, Christmas in Dixie which as older men now, they performed with our boys from Home Free for their Christmas special. An amazing collaboration and their lead singer Randy still sounds as clear as he ever did.
Alabama started in 1969 but had their biggest success in the 80's, where the band had over 27 number one hits, seven multi-platinum albums & received numerous awards. The band blends traditional country music & Southern rock combined with elements of bluegrass, folk, gospel & pop music. Some of their most famous songs are "Tennessee River", "Love In The First Degree", "Mountain Music", "Dixieland Delight" "If You're Gonna Play in Texas (You Gotta Have A Fiddle In The Band)", "Song Of The South" etc.
@@wendydavidson4814 I guess one of the most favorite of my Wife and myself is "When We Make Love", would love to have a dollar for each time I have heard it since we met. My Wife and I were guests on a cruise a couple or three years back with Alabama and a lot of country music stars. Great cruise!!!
Biggest crush of my life was Randy Owen!! I remember watching the country music awards way back then, waiting to hear who won entertainer of the year and it was Alabama!!! I leaped up off the couch and did a major happy dance! Lol
To say Alabama was huge when I was in high school is an understatement. Every party and dance they would be played over and over again, especially this song. A great song to slow dance and polish your belt buckle to. Anyone with a tape deck would have their tapes blasting in their cars and trucks. And of course, all the girls were in love with them all.
Alabama had SO MANY hit songs and they bring back so many memories of my junior high and high school years in the eighties ❤️❤️ Dixieland Delight, 40 Hour Week, Mountain Music & Love In The First Degree are some of my favorites ❤ Check them out someday
Alabama is the best country band of all time. They have a long list of PD songs like this and more upbeat songs like Tennessee River, Mountain Music, 40 hour week etc.
My mom’s cousin married lead singer Randy Owen’s sister and was a roadie of the band for years. He used to get tickets for us when they performed in Michigan where we live. They are the first country music I listened to and became a fan. I don’t know any of them personally but have met them backstage a few times and they were as awesome as I had hoped they would be. ❤
First time I saw Alabama live was in 1980 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. There were many well known top country artists performing on stage that day, particularly the Gatlin Bros. who just had their new hit All The Gold in California just come out, but although relatively a new band, Alabama were the star performers to 100,000 screaming fans that day. I recall saying to my wife that Alabama will be like the Beatles of country music. They went on to completely dominate the country band genre during the 80s and 90s, with multiple Entertainer of the Year Awards in Country Music. Randy Owen, during his prime, would definitely be in your panty dropper gang.
Hey, Brit…I just subscribed to your channel. I really enjoy your reaction videos, especially how you talk about the fashion & the PDC club! Alabama was the 2nd concert I ever saw in my life back in the 80’s with my Best Friend. Randy Owen was definitely a PD lead singer. I screamed so much that I lost my voice for 3 or 4 days. Fast forward to 2013…I was battling Breast Cancer and same Best Friend got us tickets to an Alabama concert. I screamed as much as my body would let me 🙂. My favorite songs are Feels So Right, There’s No Way and Take Me Down (a bonafide pd). Also, the country artist that is 😍right now is Brett Young…Mercy and In Case you Didn’t Know are must hear songs. He will melt your heart.
Britt, Back in the day these guys ruled Country-Western music. Hit after hit... They were giants!!! They won several awards for their work! I am glad you enjoyed their work...
I first heard Alabama when I was a kid in high school back in the late seventies. At that time they went by the name "Wild Country" I snuck out at from a school event and went to a local club in Ft. Payne Alabama to just get away with it. They were performing at that club. I was shocked to hear a local band that was so tight! Later one of my neighbors married Jeff Cook the lead guitarist who recently passed. The warm and heartfelt melodies performed by the Band Alabama is the reason they are so endeared by millions today. They were truly a super band during their times reaching high points on all the charts with their award winning hits. Their music brings back such warm fond memories of my youth. Thanks for reviewing this song!
This old man in NC is happy to sit here and share this with u.They played in Myrtle Beach for a few years when they first started.And yeah the girls were crazy about Randy.
Welcome to sweet home Alabama darling, so happy you found my boys. This band consists of 3 Alabama cousin's and a drummer from New York . Their Playlist is phenomenal.
I giggled all the way through this one! Alabama has so many great songs it's hard to pick favorites, but I love "Fallin", "Touch Me When We're Dancin'" and "Mountain Music"! But you can't go wrong with any Alabama song! They were the house band at The Bowery" a bar on the grand strand at Myrtle Beach, SC for a time when I was younger. ❤ I got to see them in concert at an outdoor venue with my sister-in-law for their Farewell Concert in Nashville. To say we had a blast doesn't do it justice, lol! We had a fantastic time and Alabama was FIRE!!
You need to react to "Alabama's "Close Enough to Perfect" ... it described how I felt about the love of my life and how she felt about me. We held each other close to both that song and this one, and as the words said here it felt so right. If I close my eyes and listen to this or Close Enough I can feel her beside me again, for a few minutes the power of music brings her back. When songs have that kind of power you know they are classics. Rest Easy Kate you are still oved and missed. Oh by the way Britt that feeling you had about Randy ... yeah most women with a pulse reacted that way ;)
My Dad was a singer-songwriter in the 70s and 80s. I grew up on country music, rock, southern rock, soul, you name it. Alabama was played on every jukebox, and every band covered their songs. They are the quintessential country band.
The lead singer, Randy Owen, the bass player, Teddy Gentry, and the lead guitarist, Jeff Cook, are all cousins. The drummer, Mark Herndon was not related, and was actually an employee of the group. Jeff just recently passed away.
The best concert I ever attended was in 1983 in my Hometown of Wilmington. Nc. It was the Azalea Festival. and Alabama was the warm up act for Hank Williams JR. Everyone knew that Alabama would make it big time. Hank Williams JR let Alabama join him for a song. Both Alabama and Hank Williams Jr are in the country Hall of Fame1
Alabama was formed by guitarists Randy Owen and Jeff Cook, and bassist Teddy Gentry, three cousins born and raised near Fort Payne, Alabama, they changed their name from "Wild Country" to "Alabama" in 1977. Jeff Cook passed away November 7, 2022. They have charted 43 #1 singles including 21 #1 singles in a row
Loved Alabama in their prime!My ex husband used to sing in a band. He would do Lady Down On Love. Alabama was also Artist of The Decade in country music.
Oh I had a girlfriend that went to every show she could get to . Just to see Randy ( lead singer ) she was in love with him till she passed away 15 years ago .
I am so excited, that you have discovered Alabama!! When you talk about the true, GREATEST of all time country groups....It. Is. ALABAMA!!!! I cant wait for you to go down this rabbit hole. They have more #1 hits and more awards, than any other. You will not be disappointed.
In my opinion greatest country band of all time. You will definitely induct them all into the PDC. RIP MR JEFF COOK he is the gentleman on the singers right.
They have many hits. All their songs just have a cool soothing style even though most are more soft rock. This was a slower version compared to their other hits. They always had a unique sound and harmony. My favorite country/soft rock group of all time.
They're cousins. :) Alabama is a deep well of joy that you don't want out of once you fall in. You'll love their song The Closer You Get. If you watch the official video for Dixieland Delight, the women in it are the band members' actual wives - so cute! :D
Mmmmmm.... love your country reactions Britt. Alabama is definitely worth your time to do a deep dive into they set a record the first 21 singles they released went to #1 when they changed their name from Wild Country to Alabama and signed a deal. Randy Owen, Teddy Gentry and Jeff Cook are cousins. Sadly Jeff passed last year he suffered from Parkinson
Oh my gosh…. Love Alabama! My mom had all their albums so I grew up on them. My sis and I had our kids (her two and my two) loaded up in the back of the car headed to a family reunion an hour and half away and we played Alabama there and all the way back…. We told them they were going to know what good music was, I’m sure with 3 hours of Alabama and my sis and I singing every song that is was excruciating for them 😂
The band has over 41 number one country records on the Billboard charts to their credit and have sold over 75 million records, making them the most successful band in country music history.
You do some very god reviews; keep up the awesome work. Alabama is one of my favorite bands; I started listening to the in the early 80's (yes I am old); then while driving OTR (trucking) I had the opportunity to go to the June Jam in Fort Payne AL; this was a two day concert (sometimes 3) with a lot of bands and one hell of a party (for a dry county) that was a blast, seeing them perform in person and then met them was a once in a lifetime treasure. I will always love listening to there music; I still have records with their old music.
It's funny that you're talking about how cute the lead singer is. His name is Randy Owen and I have had a crush on that man since I was about 13 years old and I am now 53, LOL.
HEY BRITT! 😊 SO THESE GUYS WERE LIKE THE ( ELTON JOHN ) OF COUNTRY MUSIC, THEY NEVERRRRR WROTE A BAD SONG JUST LIKE ELTON AND BERNIE NEVER DID! 😊 BEEN MY FAVORITE NO. 1 FOR OVER 40 YEARS SO! ENJOY THIS GREAT COUNTRY SOUTHERN BAND BRITT.
Alabama is a deep rabbit hole to explore. Tons of country hits. Great harmonies, probably due to the fact that 3 out front are cousins. Saw them 3 times live back in the 80’s. Great shows.
Alabama is great, love them. Classics like "Mountain Music" or "Song Of the South" are worth checking out. My favourite though is "Dixieland Delight" - catchy song and nice video. Also fun and worth a listen: "Old Alabama" by Brad Paisley feat. the original Alabama.
They’re cousins. One of the BEST country bands ever. So many fabulous songs. I love Mountain Music, Lady Down on Love, If You’re Gonna play in Texas. This band ruled country in the 80s. They don’t have a song you won’t like.
The thing with this group is you can't go wrong. They put out hit after hit after hit. My dad and I were talking about them the other day and how they just had this natural talent that didn't require in flash or fanfare. They just took to the stage and owned it. I could suggest so many but with Alabama I always say "40 Hour Week" and "Angels Among Us”.
Oh Alabama 😅 My moms favorite group I couldn't even tell you how many times I saw them in concert..and met several times have all their Autographs, and lead singer Randy Owen's..Whoo talk about a panty dropper holy sh*t had ALL the women whipped 😂 that is such a great memory that I have of my mom. Thanks for the share. ❤
Thanks much. Another song they did was 'Old Flame Burning in Your Heart. Had an old girlfriend from back in '65' send me that song a few years ago. Brought back memories,,, and knowing I still rank high on her list after 55 years.
Thanks for reacting to some Alabama! They are an iconic American country music and southern rock band formed in 1969 in Fort Payne, AL. They charted over 80-songs including over 40 #1 hits on the Country music charts and over 30 hits on the Adult-Contemporary and Pop charts selling over 80-million albums worldwide. They're legendary live shows broke attendance records, selling out arenas and stadiums across North America. Look forward to more Alabama reactions...possibly "Mountain Music", "Dixieland Delight", "I'm In A Hurry", "If You're Gonna Play In Texas", "Song Of The South", "The Closer You Get", "Lady Down On Love", "Roll On", "40-Hour Week", "Cheap Seats"...
These guy's are great and family members Randy Owen the lead singer has a great voice they had really great music if you liked this try "LADY DOWN ON LOVE" another great song by Alabama, thanks Britt, you didn't mention who made the request
There are a LOT of songs for you to listen to with Alabama with over 40 #1 Country hits! Some of my favorites are: Mountain Music Dixieland Delight The Closer You Get If You're Going To Play In Texas
Randy Owen, lead singer, absolutely a charmer. SOOOOOOO FINE!!! The smile, the hair and the whiskers... sheer perfection! And he's fun/playful as well, these guys are so talented and quite entertaining (in concert). I've seen these guys many times in concert. My husband (then boyfriend & really good sport lol) knew that I was all about Randy Owen. OH MY!!! lol Randy was my big 'crush', he still makes me swoon. 🥰🤗😍❤🔥🤩😘😁 Also check out 'Lady Down On Love' by these guys. You'll love it!

Girl no matter what song you react to from Alabama you can't go wrong. RIP to Jeff Cook.
Alabama is one of if not the greatest country groups ever. In my opinion. The group is all cousins except for the drummer who is a close childhood friend of all of theirs.
Alabama was the #1 country group in the 80's-90's. They ruled the airwaves. If you would try Lady Down On Love. You will love it
Great harmonies on Lady, Down on Love.
Paney Dropper 👍🤣
They were great for a long time. I Sean them Atleast 6 times. Great guys also .

My Wife and I were guests on a cruise a couple or three years back with Alabama and a lot of country music stars. Great cruise!!!
41 #1 hits? Yeah, I'd buy that. Lots of talent in that band.
Biggest crush of my life was Randy Owen!! I remember watching the country music awards way back then, waiting to hear who won entertainer of the year and it was Alabama!!! I leaped up off the couch and did a major happy dance! Lol
Ooh, Ooh, listen to "Close Enough To Perfect". And, yes, Randy Owens is incredibly charismatic and belongs in the club.
Beautiful song and this bombshell of a lady reacting puts Hollywood actresses to shame. Plus she’s funny and witty. Subscribed.
"Song of the South", by Alabama!
One of the best country bands ever! My personal favorite!

Alabama was HUGE and n the early to mid 1980s with around 50 #1 songs on the country charts and several that crossed over to the pop charts.

Alabama is a Country Music Iconic Group!!! Great music!!
My Favorite Country Band OF ALL TIME!!! Over 40 number 1 hits…. Need more Alabama!!!
they are great! I will keep it in mind! ✍️
Alabama breathed new life into country music. They were to country what the Beatles were to rock n roll
Another great reaction
I first heard Alabama when I was a kid in high school back in the late seventies. At that time they went by the name "Wild Country" I snuck out at from a school event and went to a local club in Ft.

their catalog is amazing so many songs please take a dive in to their music.
This old man in NC is happy to sit here and share this with u.They played in Myrtle Beach for a few years when they first started.And yeah the girls were crazy about Randy.
For a Fun Alabama Song, might I suggest "If you're gonna play in Texas".
Saw him while I was in the audience at a concert and waved at him during this song and he waved back. At least that is what I think. Love Alabama.
Alabama is legendary. I had a chance to travel to Ft. Payne Alabama once. They have a little bit of the southern rock vibe as well.
Welcome to sweet home Alabama darling, so happy you found my boys. This band consists of 3 Alabama cousin's and a drummer from New York . Their Playlist is phenomenal.

One of the greatest slow dance songs of all time. My wife and I slow dance to this one all the time.
Been listening to Alabama since the 70s as a kid and still live the good tunes
The best concert I ever attended was in 1983 in my Hometown of Wilmington. Nc. It was the Azalea Festival. and Alabama was the warm up act for Hank Williams JR. Everyone knew that Alabama would make it big time. Hank Williams JR let Alabama join him for a song. Both Alabama and Hank Williams Jr are in the country Hall of Fame1
The greatest country group all time!!
Country music’s most popular band in the 80’s and early 90’s. My favorites? “It Works” and “Angels Among Us”(official videos only).
I recommend the song "Angels Among Us" by Alabama - the official video specifically. It will warm your heart.
I remember listening to that on the radio when i was little! Country music honestly wouldn't be country music without Alabama!
They will always be special to me, I got engaged the night we went to their concert.
Alabama was formed by guitarists Randy Owen and Jeff Cook, and bassist Teddy Gentry, three cousins born and raised near Fort Payne, Alabama, they changed their name from "Wild Country" to "Alabama" in 1977. Jeff Cook passed away November 7, 2022. They have charted 43 #1 singles including 21 #1 singles in a row
That look when he said…your wish is my demand!!!!
Alabama is a great band and they are cousins. One of my favorites songs by them is Shagging on the Boulevard. Take a listen. Love your reaction.
Alabama has 42 #1 hits. So you really can't go wrong with any song you pick. And yes, Randy Owen, the lead singer made women swoon big-time.
When Randy Owens sings those love songs my heart melts brings so many memories .. they are related
Loved Alabama in their prime!My ex husband used to sing in a band. He would do Lady Down On Love. Alabama was also Artist of The Decade in country music.
Alabama was a group of cousins that were so great that they had 43 number 1 hits and also won entertainer of the decade multiple times
Oh I had a girlfriend that went to every show she could get to . Just to see Randy ( lead singer ) she was in love with him till she passed away 15 years ago .
Alabama is one of the very few groups/artists that received "Entertainer of the decade"
Omg! I’m so glad you reacted to them Alabama boys 💗🤩you’ve got a lot of good songs to look forward to 😊

In my opinion greatest country band of all time. You will definitely induct them all into the PDC. RIP MR JEFF COOK he is the gentleman on the singers right.
I saw Alabama live the first year of their big break. They were fabulous live. Try their songs My Home's in Alabama and Old Flame.
I’m glad you enjoyed Alabama I grew up listening to them and they are fantastic
They have many hits. All their songs just have a cool soothing style even though most are more soft rock. This was a slower version compared to their other hits. They always had a unique sound and harmony. My favorite country/soft rock group of all time.

Alabama is such a great group, Jeff the lead guitar player passed away last year
that is so sad 😔
The greatest country band, Alabama.
Bama is the greatest country band of all time any song they have is worth listening to
The GREATEST COUNTRY BAND OF ALL TIME. Over 30 number ones!
The band has over 41 number one country records on the Billboard charts to their credit and have sold over 75 million records, making them the most successful band in country music history.
Alabama had some fantastic vocal harmonies.
You do some very god reviews; keep up the awesome work.
Alabama is one of my favorite bands; I started listening to the in the early 80's (yes I am old); then while driving OTR (trucking) I had the opportunity to go to the June Jam in Fort Payne AL; this was a two day concert (sometimes 3) with a lot of bands and one hell of a party (for a dry county) that was a blast, seeing them perform in person and then met them was a once in a lifetime treasure.
I will always love listening to there music; I still have records with their old music.
It's funny that you're talking about how cute the lead singer is. His name is Randy Owen and I have had a crush on that man since I was about 13 years old and I am now 53, LOL.
They had a lot of FEEL GOOD songs for sure!!!
You were captivated. When you stop to talk about it you brush it off but your smile when it plays gives it away.
You just opened a rabbit hole of historically & statistically one of the greatest Bands of Any Genre to Ever exist!!
HEY BRITT! 😊 SO THESE GUYS WERE LIKE THE ( ELTON JOHN ) OF COUNTRY MUSIC, THEY NEVERRRRR WROTE A BAD SONG JUST LIKE ELTON AND BERNIE NEVER DID! 😊 BEEN MY FAVORITE NO. 1 FOR OVER 40 YEARS SO! ENJOY THIS GREAT COUNTRY SOUTHERN BAND BRITT.
One of the greatest country bands of all time honey. Randy Owen's music is a gem in the industry. He wrote all of their hits...
Darealdeal
I have tickets to see them in July, love em one of my favorite country bands always makes me feel good.
Alabama is a deep rabbit hole to explore. Tons of country hits. Great harmonies, probably due to the fact that 3 out front are cousins. Saw them 3 times live back in the 80’s. Great shows.
Alabama is great, love them. Classics like "Mountain Music" or "Song Of the South" are worth checking out. My favourite though is "Dixieland Delight" - catchy song and nice video. Also fun and worth a listen: "Old Alabama" by Brad Paisley feat. the original Alabama.
They’re cousins. One of the BEST country bands ever. So many fabulous songs. I love Mountain Music, Lady Down on Love, If You’re Gonna play in Texas. This band ruled country in the 80s. They don’t have a song you won’t like.
Karaoke banger in South Alabama! I'm 53 and saw them live in my hometown of Montgomery, Alabama in the 70s at the Civic Center.
Angels among us by Alabama. Great song.
My husbands favorite song by Alabama is Close Enough To Perfect! He says the words always describe me and also how he feels!! ❤
The thing with this group is you can't go wrong. They put out hit after hit after hit. My dad and I were talking about them the other day and how they just had this natural talent that didn't require in flash or fanfare. They just took to the stage and owned it. I could suggest so many but with Alabama I always say "40 Hour Week" and "Angels Among Us”.
Alabama is a very deep rabbit hole. Enjoy the trip. Induction is a certainty.
Oh Alabama 😅 My moms favorite group I couldn't even tell you how many times I saw them in concert..and met several times have all their Autographs, and lead singer Randy Owen's..Whoo talk about a panty dropper holy sh*t had ALL the women whipped 😂 that is such a great memory that I have of my mom. Thanks for the share. ❤
haha! glad you enjoyed it !!
Thanks much. Another song they did was 'Old Flame Burning in Your Heart. Had an old girlfriend from back in '65' send me that song a few years ago. Brought back memories,,, and knowing I still rank high on her list after 55 years.
Alabama is probably the greatest country band of all time.
Your facial expressions get me every time!😂
Thanks for reacting to some Alabama! They are an iconic American country music and southern rock band formed in 1969 in Fort Payne, AL.

Randy Owen, lead singer, absolutely a charmer. SOOOOOOO FINE!!! The smile, the hair and the whiskers... sheer perfection! And he's fun/playful as well, these guys are so talented and quite entertaining (in concert). I've seen these guys many times in concert. My husband (then boyfriend & really good sport lol) knew that I was all about Randy Owen. OH MY!!! lol Randy was my big 'crush', he still makes me swoon. 🥰🤗😍❤🔥🤩😘😁 Also check out 'Lady Down On Love' by these guys. You'll love it!
